Tamara & Clark | 331 South Wedding | 30a Wedding Photographer

Introducing for the first time on the blog the wedding story of Tamara & Clark Lunt! 

Tamara and I met a few years ago and became roommates quickly and friends even quicker. From the very beginning of knowing Tamara, I could see a special connection between her and Clark. Their sense of humor, their confidence, their goals, & even their friends just seemed to mesh so well together. It was obvious to me and our group of friends that these two would be married in no time! Well "no time" wasn't quite as quickly as we had guessed, but it happened! After the proposal, Tamara contacted me about wedding photography and I was instantly jumping for joy. To have the opportunity to capture one of the most beautiful, sweet hearted, and fun-loving women I know's biggest day of her life...  was a dream come true! The entire day was truly a huge honor to be there to witness the day unfolding, laugh with them, cry with them, and create beautiful memories for them! 

This amazing wedding happened just over a month ago at the beautiful 331 South venue in Santa Rosa Beach, FL with the talented Samantha Jackson Weddings as our coordinator & Jonathan Doria as hairstylist. Our day started out with hustle and bustle while the girls finished up their hair & makeup. There were lots of laughs and such an excitement in the room that I instantly felt upon arriving & it lasted through the end of the night! Thank you once again, Tamara/Clark & all who made this special day a reality! 

On 2015, refining goals, and saying NO to underwater basket weaving

Wow, in 2014, I can definitely say that my personal & business goals were all over the place. 

For instance, I wanted to be the world's greatest underwater basket weaver, win the nobel peace prize, train elephants in the circus, and teach skydiving in Canada. Joking, of course, but that's how far apart some of my goals seemed to be, leaving me feeling scattered & unsure of how to follow all of these different courses at once.

Somewhere in the midst of juggling it all, I began realizing that the more I could refine my personal and business goals, the more I could be successful and accomplish the most important things. Narrowing down some of my biggest passions in life and the most important aspects of who I want to become personally & in business wasn't easy, but here are a few of the steps that helped along the way. 

#1 - Making lists of things that leave me feeling drained & unaccomplished. 

#2 - Making a list of things that bring me JOY and feelings of accomplishment. 

#3 - Making a list of ways to eliminate those draining tasks and making a list of ways to add more of those tasks that bring joy. 

#5 - Taking physical actions to make this list become a reality. 

#6 - Having full FAITH that I was created to follow a path in this life... Accepting that miracles are around every. single. corner. Understanding that every setback is a new perspective allowing you to gain experience in that area and move on to the next great thing. 

#7 - Eating lots of chocolate. Just kidding, but sometimes that helps make anything better, so it could actually apply :)
